TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by idolda: 5:18pm On Mar 09, 2018
Good day everyone in the house and special greetings to the gurus for their selfless service. Please I need your advice on this :

A friend of mine used an agent for B1/B2 visa and got denied. He wanted to reapply but he is demanding for unreasonable amount of money even higher than the one he billed him initially. I told him he can do it himself and wanted to guide him through but the username and password for booking appointment is an issue. The agent created an email address for him and used it during the last appliance my friend has no access to the email address and password neither the username for booking an appointment. How do we resolve this issue to.ensure he reapplies without going through this agent?

Your suggestions will be highly appreciated

justwise:
1.Yes there will be because the ECO will focus mainly on your financial capabilities and your source of income.

2. It wil pose a problem if you don't explain the arrangement clearly.

3. You need to clearly explain that payment and the source, add as much paper evidence as you can to support your explanation.

4. Yes if you withhold the info.
Thanks and Ekpotekh

Only the ECO can authoritatively answer you questions. However, the ECO will be worried why you are preparing to spend money to attend a friend graduation when you are neither related expect as a business partner. If I where you, I would rather apply on my own merit as a tourist and see how it goes without bringing in your graduating friend.
Thanks so much for this response. The truth is that I actually wanted to use the opportunity to write a USA professional exam and UK is one of the nearest centers I can write the exam. Will check up the tourist options.

Good morning @justwise and other guru in the house. Please I have a situation and I need your advice

My best friend will be graduating in July (PhD program) from Nottingham University and wants to invite me for the graduation ceremony. Here is my situation :

1. I work with state Govt and earn a little bit above 100k but as at the time of typing this (less than 6 months to the time) I have zero naira in account balance
2. I have an unregistered business in Nigeria with my graduating friend but I run the business and the money is paid into his Nigeria account. He transfers my own share into my account at the end of each month which is usually between 100-350k
3. I will be hosting students in Nigeria for an online course by a top USA university from April to June (people already signed up) and over 1million is expected to be deposited into my account by students (100 students) within 10 days out of which 400k will be mine after paying the school the course fees.
4.I was denied USA visitor's visa in August last year and I spent 3 weeks in East African countries of Kenya Uganda and Rwanda in November last year.
5. I'm married with kids but will be traveling alone and intend to spend 5 days. I will be responsible for the flight and other expenses but will be staying with him and his family during my visit.
6. I plan to have between 1-1.2million in my account when applying for visa

Questions
1. Will there not be a problem with visa considering that my opening balance is poor?
2. Is the monthly transfer from same friend into my account not pose a problem for me? (He has suggested to start sending the money to my wife account and from my wife to me)
3 Will deposit of over 1 million by 100 people within 1 week not pose a problem during the visa application?
4 will denial by USA have effect on the outcome of my visa?

Your response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, 146k for return flight from Lagos but note that I booked a month ahead. From Kampala to Nairobi cost #6,500 and the journey took about 9 hours or so

Really?Tell me more about this bro.How did u get the visa how,i mean how do u see the countries in terms of living standard there and what is obtainable.In your own opinion which one would be the best place to migrate to,thanks.
Its visa on arrival for Nigerians just apply online before you go. Best place to migrate to i don't know but definitely not Rwanda because things are expensive there.

Woah! that is why it is important to fill your forms, yourself. Maybe you can draw the attention of the V.O when next you apply, that an agent assisted you in filling the forms but what you have filled is true and accurate to your knowledge. Though you are fully responsible for what you fill in the forms.
Thanks all. For clarity sake I filled the present form(2017) MYSELF. I only used agents for the visa lottery I entered between 2005-2008.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by idolda: 1:46pm On Sep 18, 2017
KaptainAfrika:
You applied three times for a US Visa lottery, you really wanted to leave Naija o. That in itself MAY NOT be the reason for rejection. But those three times, did you fill the information yourself or did you use an agent? because the information you give has to be the same, except where it is reasonable where circumstances changes, for example: you were single, now you are married e.t.c.
I filled it while still in school then and immediately after school while still single. But now I'm married with kids . I used agents and sincerely don't know what they filled then but my names and date of birth were correct (those are the two I'm sure were correct)

The OP is a male applicant, so lots of applicants have travelled for vacation with their families back home as ties, I guess he wasn't just lucky in simple terms


@OP, did you win in any of the lotteries, If yes,it may be the issue, and anyway the age is an adventuring the age
You would have conquered if you had gone with the whole family
Better luck next time
No I didn't win in any. Personally I feel the VO is in haste and I'm simply unlucky to have been assigned to him. He didn't even ask me my job responsibilities. Do you think I stand a better chance after my East Africa tour (Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya in fact I will even add Ghana join)?

Good morning all, I have just been denied and mine was the shortest interview ever. It goes thus

Vo : good morning, your passport please
Me: Good morning
Vo: Where are you going in usa?
Me: Brooklyn, New York
Vo: Why are you going to New York?
Me: for vacation and also use the opportunity to visit tourist sites especially statue of liberty which has long been on my bucket list.
Vo: What do you do?
Me: said it
Vo: How long have you been working?
Me: 8 years
Are you married?
Me: yes, got married to my sweetheart 5years ago
Vo: Any kid?
Me: yes, I'm blessed with 2 kids(I mentioned their names)
Vo: Are you going with anyone?
Me: No, (was about explaining further before he cuts in)
Vo: Have you traveled outside Nigeria before
Me: This is going to be my first trip outside the country

Then he said sorry bla bla bla and handed me the blue leaflet (Denied under 214b).

Please experts what could be wrong and how do I tackle this?

Although I have applied for leave at work to travel in November and have plan B in place and will be touring East African countries(Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya)

Note: I'm 33,M no travel history, married with 2 kids and a Govt employee. I filled the form myself and all the information presented is accurate.

2. I work 2 jobs(1 full time Govt job and other part time but earn more), how do I add that in my application or should I just stick with one while filling the ds160 form?
